★ We, The Women
Women Have Only Party Manners
By RUTH MILLETT 1
“Women have no manners” pro- 1
claims a well-known former 1
sports writer in a recent magazine <
article. 1
And what he says of the pushing, 1
scowling, inconsiderate manner of 1
women in public places is pretty
much true. But a better basis for j
his accusation would have been ]
“Women Have Party Manners.” (
For women do have manners,
but the great majority of them
hold their manners in reserve for
social occasions.
It is usually the woman of the
family who insists on meeting its
social obligations. She’s the one
who says ‘‘What can I do to
help?” when trouble strikes a fam
ily friend; who murmurs the polite
thing at social functions, etc.
In their own social circles, wom
en are -meticulous about ameni
ties.
But when in a crowd most wom
en don’t bother to be ladies. They
fight with salesgirls and wait
resses, shove in crowds, accept
men’s courtesies without a smil
ing ‘‘Thank you,”, and wear icy
stares when dealing With anyone
they don't know.
LADIES’ EXIT HERE
They fight ivith the person who
shares a party line with them, but
talk in dulcet tones to their friends.
Somewhere along the line wom
en seem to have forgotten that a
lady is a lady anywhere—not just
in a social gathering. So while
they struggle to be considered
charming in their own small cir
cles, many of them aren’t at all
interested in presenting a picture
of good-natured affability when
they are anonymous members of
a crowd.
It’s not that women as a group
lave NO manners that makes
hem look so bad in public. It is
hat they save their manners for
locial occasions instead of using
hem to ease all their business
ransactions and their casual con
acts with other people.
The average woman doesn’t
leed to learn manners—but mere
y to use her party manners every
lay.
